[No. 40

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, AND GENTLEMEN
OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,—

I note that the gross trade of the Dominion has been fairly well maintained
in the past year, although the value of exports, owing to a fall in prices, does
not balance favourably with imports, which show a substantial increase.
I have no doubt, however, that with a realization of the position the adjustment
of the trade balance will be gradually brought about.

My Ministers have arranged for the Dominion to be represented at the
Toronto Exhibition in August next, thus recognizing the importance and
desirability of inter-Empire trade and communication.

By arrangement with the Government, Sir Frank Heath, Secretary
to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in England,
visited New Zealand in February last to advise on the question of scientific
organization for the assistance of primary and secondary industries. My
Ministers have carefully considered the proposals contained in the report, and
legislation in this connection will be submitted.

A measure dealing with the important subject of town-planning will be
laid before you for consideration.

Bills will be submitted to you for the purpose of compiling and amending
the existing law with regard to mining, hospitals and charitable institutions,
and fire brigades.

A Bill will also be laid before you for the purpose of effecting improve-
ments in the licensing law.

You will be asked to consider legislation designed to make better provision
for University education in the Dominion. A comprehensive measure has been
prepared on the lines suggested by the Royal Commission whose report was
laid before you last year. It is intended to repeal all existing legislation
relating to the University of New Zealand and its affiliated colleges, and to
reconstitute the University as a federal University.

Other Bills will be laid before you dealing with amendments to the law
relating to lands, dairy-produce export control, census and statistics, destitute
persons, scenery-preservation, and other matters.

In commending these various matters to your consideration, I trust your
deliberations will be directed by Divine Providence.

By Authority: W. A. G. SKINNER, Government Printer, Wellington.

Price, 6d.
